Tolkien replied on [[June 20]] (in the letter ''[[Mr Paul Bibire 20 June 1969]]''), stating that the [[Swanfleet]] is the same river as the Glanduin, although the former is applied to the upper course of the river. It is from the answer of this query that Tolkien decided to embark on a comprehensive essay of not only the [[Rivers of Gondor]], but also of the [[Warning beacons of Gondor|Beacon-hills of Gondor]], as mentioned in ''[[The Return of the King]]''.</ins></div></td></tr>

However, based on what can be gleaned from this, it seems it is at this point that Tolkien decided to introduce the idea of having the tomb of [[Elendil]] in Halifirien, which became an essential element in the work ''[[Cirion and Eorl]]''. Therefore from Paul Bibire's query arose the history of Halifirien and Elendil's tomb.</ins></div></td></tr>
